Nah, it is too late, I don't think that soaking anything for 24 hours is a good idea. I should have just soaked it for 20 minutes and rinsed it,...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I soaked this in alcohol for a few hours and then distilled water over night and this happened. I probably should have just...
Another thing to consider that I did not think about before is after 50 auctions a month, Ebay charges listing fees and these fees are based on...
Ok, so you are saying it was made by a square nail but made bigger. That would make sense since I can see a square shape within the hole.
[ATTACH] Someone mentioned this half cent was holed with a square nail. I took it to a show and the guy who looked at it said he couldn't see...
I was looking at coins on Ebay and what do I see? Coin lots taped to paper. That just drives me nuts now. These coins were nothing, just a...
